[Just press play]



Growing up together, playing together, dreaming together.


Playmates.

My first, my last, my one and only.

[Play]
My entire life dedicated soley to loving you.
                                      [Mates]

And I'm the fool, I'm the fool.

["All I can think of is kissing your lips, touching your skin, hearing you moan in pleasure"]

I'm the dumb one who loved you,
who lived for you,
who stood quietly by as you fell in love,and out of love
and in love again

(Not with me)

And I don't resent that I was never the one for you.
I knew that all along.
What I resent
What I REFUSE to forgive,
is that you lie to yourself.

["You are the only one I can trust"]


Playmates.
Your personal whore.


And for six years you kept c[um]ming back to me.
For six years I never once complained.
[Hush: "Feel this?" "Hmmm" "Feel it?" "Ohh, Goddd"]
Not much-- unless you're only twenty.

And we both appeared the perfect children:
Good grades, good manners, good & pure little thoughts.


The Perfect Son.

[Playing cards with your mother, while under the table,
five fingers explore wet, warm, places]

Well, you never fooled me.
("Only you know me")
Even if you fooled yourself.
["How can you say that I'm only using you???"]

And you were so proud of your fucking conscience.
As if feeling guilt somehow made you good
or BETTER than me.

[I knew you. I knew how you would touch yourself thinking about me.
I heard your dreams of handcuffs and knives]

How you hated me because I knew you.

Like Jesus fearing Mary Magdalene.
I'm the one preventing you
From being crucified a lamb.


The Perfect Son.
Jesus [fucking] Christ.



[You in me, pushing farther, deeper. Twisted tongue, sweaty palms, burning skin. Cutting me up and sucking my blood as we both reach the closest we'll ever get to Heaven.]


Games. Playing Games.


"I never said I loved you"

Till one day you found the perfect girl
and suddenly you were too righteouss
to even look at me.

"I never said I loved you"

[Handcuffs, breathing, pumping blood through green veins]

And you call me your mistake.


I never said...

Perfect girl.
Perfect wife.
Perfect kids.
Perfect home.
Blood-stained hands washed perfectly clean.

... I loved you.

And I pray,
for your sake and hers,
that your virgin never finds out

[that you did.]

..I feel like I know you..I feel like you're me..and I want to hold you and tell you everything's gonna be okay..and that he's a son-of-a-bitch..but words can't express that or make you believe it..

this is utterly confusing and sounds like a bunch of thrown together frantic thoughts... which makes me LOVE it! Leaves me kinda spinny... I enjoyed it much! A Broken Soul~

*breath catches in her throat* this was...beyond any word that my constricted mind could think of at this moment...for lack of a perfect phrase, this was heart-wrenching. *Evangel*
